midbrain. It plays a key role in orienting response - movements of the
eye, head, and body toward a newly appearing, salient object. Underlying
this response is multimodal sensory inputs (e.g., direct visual inputs
from the retina) and heterogeneous motor outputs (e.g., projections to
brainstem saccade generators). However, the brain receives sensory
inputs continually in parallel, and there must be the mechanism for
selection to determine to which stimulus the animal should respond.
Such selection requires cognitive processes such as attention, memory,
and movement preparation.
The objective of the present research was to examine whether the
superior colliculus is involved in such cognitive processes. For this
purpose we trained monkeys to perform a series of behavioral tasks and
recorded single cell activity from the superior colliculus while the
animal was performing the tasks.
In these tasks the monkey was required, during a time period (2-3 sec),
to select a stimulus, remember its position, or prepare for an eye
movement, The neural activity related to these processes was expected
to appear as a tonic, sustained spike discharge during the period. To
analyze the nature of the tonic activity we used three main tasks
(overlap saccade task, delayed saccade task, and attention task) and
additional control tasks.
In the overlap saccade task (SACO), the monkey was required to make a
saccade to remembered position of peripheral light spot which had been
cued during fixation. In the attention task (ATT), the monkey was
required to detect dimming of the peripheral spot light, without making
an eye movement. We assumed that these tasks would selectively or
preferentially reflect different aspects of cognitive processes -
movement preparation, memory, and attention.
We used three monkeys, After training of these tasks, monkeys were
implanted with a head holder on the skull and search coil monocularly in
order to monitor eye positions (Robinson 1963), under anesthesia with
pentobarbital sodium. Extracellular action potential was recorded by a
glass coated elgiloy electrode.
We recorded 141 neurons showing tonic activities in the superior
colliculus. The superior colliculus consists of three layers: the
superficial, the intermediate, and the deep layers. Based on previous
reports which had been accepted unanimously, neurons without saccadic
activity (n=33) were considered to be in the superficial layer, while
neurons with saccadic activity (n=108) were in the intermediate layer.
We later confirmed this assumption by histological examination.
These neurons also discharged physically after visual stimuli and/or
around saccade. Tonic activities had preferential retinotopic fields,
which were similar to the visual receptive fields and the saccadic
movement fields of the same neurons.
Depending on the predominance of the activities during the delay period
among the three tasks (SACO, SACD, ATT), we classified the tonic
neurons into four types: (1) visuomotor (activity was significantly
greater in SACO), (2) mnemonic motor (SACD dominant)< (3) visual
attention (ATT dominant), and (4) nonspecific (others; no single task
was dominant).
In the intermediate layer, more than a third of tonic neurons were found
to be selective for one of the tasks: visual attention (n=13), visuomotor
(n=13), and mnemonic motor (n=15).
The other neuron (n=67) were of
non-specific type. In the superficial layer, specific types were less
common: visual attention (n=3) and visuomotor (n=4). Mnemonic motor
type was not found. The other neurons (n=26) were of non-specific type.
In conclusion, the tonic neurons in the superior colliculus, especially in its
intermediate layer, are involved in information processing
underlying memory of the target location, the preparation of saccade and
the peripheral attention. Their signals may be sent to the phasic
responsive neurons in the superior colliculus and/or the brainstem
saccade generators, and modulate saccadic eye movements.
Furthermore, they may be sent to the thalamic neurons, to which the
neurons in the intermediate layer project, The superior colliculus might
participate in the processes in which memory-, preparation-, and
attention-related signals are maintained. These processes may be
accomplished by multiple loop circuits formed with the cerebral cortex,
thalamus, basal ganglia, and superior colliculus.","subitem_description_type":"Other"}]},"item_1_description_18":{"attribute_name":"フォーマット","attribute_value_mlt":[{"subitem_description":"application/pdf","subitem_description_type":"Other"}]},"item_1_description_7":{"attribute_name":"学位記番号","attribute_value_mlt":[{"subitem_description":"総研大甲第56号","subitem_description_type":"Other"}]},"item_1_select_14":{"attribute_name":"所蔵","attribute_value_mlt":[{"subitem_select_item":"有"}]},"item_1_select_8":{"attribute_name":"研究科","attribute_value_mlt":[{"subitem_select_item":"生命科学研究科"}]},"item_1_select_9":{"attribute_name":"専攻","attribute_value_mlt":[{"subitem_select_item":"20 生理科学専攻"}]},"item_1_text_10":{"attribute_name":"学位授与年度","attribute_value_mlt":[{"subitem_text_value":"1992"}]},"item_creator":{"attribute_name":"著者","attribute_type":"creator","attribute_value_mlt":[{"creatorNames":[{"creatorName":"KOJIMA, Jun","creatorNameLang":"en"}],"nameIdentifiers":[{}]}]},"item_files":{"attribute_name":"ファイル情報","attribute_type":"file","attribute_value_mlt":[{"accessrole":"open_date","date":[{"dateType":"Available","dateValue":"2016-02-17"}],"displaytype":"simple","filename":"甲56_要旨.pdf","filesize":[{"value":"278.5 kB"}],"format":"application/pdf","licensetype":"license_11","mimetype":"application/pdf","url":{"label":"要旨・審査要旨 / Abstract, Screening Result","url":"https://ir.soken.ac.jp/record/1075/files/甲56_要旨.pdf"},"version_id":"f2008512-cd32-4bce-b21e-ea0bd24a7a7e"},{"accessrole":"open_date","date":[{"dateType":"Available","dateValue":"2016-02-17"}],"displaytype":"simple","filename":"甲56_本文.pdf","filesize":[{"value":"2.0 MB"}],"format":"application/pdf","licensetype":"license_11","mimetype":"application/pdf","url":{"label":"本文","url":"https://ir.soken.ac.jp/record/1075/files/甲56_本文.pdf"},"version_id":"291e9e18-edbf-4847-ae0a-c2a4436b3834"}]},"item_language":{"attribute_name":"言語","attribute_value_mlt":[{"subitem_language":"eng"}]},"item_resource_type":{"attribute_name":"資源タイプ","attribute_value_mlt":[{"resourcetype":"thesis","resourceuri":"http://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_46ec"}]},"item_title":"サル上丘神経細胞における視覚・眼球運動課題遂行中の持続的活動","item_titles":{"attribute_name":"タイトル","attribute_value_mlt":[{"subitem_title":"サル上丘神経細胞における視覚・眼球運動課題遂行中の持続的活動"},{"subitem_title":"Tonic Activity during Visuo-oculomotor Behavior in the Monkey Superior Colliculus","subitem_title_language":"en"}]},"item_type_id":"1","owner":"1","path":["22"],"pubdate":{"attribute_name":"公開日","attribute_value":"2010-02-22"},"publish_date":"2010-02-22","publish_status":"0","recid":"1075","relation_version_is_last":true,"title":["サル上丘神経細胞における視覚・眼球運動課題遂行中の持続的活動"],"weko_creator_id":"1","weko_shared_id":1},"updated":"2023-06-20T14:48:38.829263+00:00"}
